Fine Egyptian Faience Amulet of Bastet

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. An excellent mold-formed faience amulet of a striding Egyptian god or goddess, possibly Bastet, wearing a skirt with its left leg forward and topped with a looped suspension hole. Glazed in a lovely hue of seafoam green and accented with cream-colored earthen deposits creating a diversified surface, this ancient relic is a fantastic example from ancient Egypt!
